Profits at a controversial unit of G4S that runs immigration centres and tags criminals collapsed by almost half last year as the outsourcer took heavy blow from its contract to run a violent, drug-riddled prison in Birmingham.

G4S Care & Justice Services UK made £21m last year, down from £38m in 2017, according to accounts filed with Companies House.
